No, I have trouble with the fact that any physical discipline is wrong, yet the physical restraint of a child, with no qualifiers for duration, severity, or method, is seen as a positive thing by the lack of negative comments made about it.

If there is no difference between smacking a child on the hand when they reach for the sharp knife by the blade, and beating them around the head, then there should be no difference between keeping a child in a properly belted booster seat in the car, and keeping them tied to their cot all day. Both are ways of making sure the child is kept out of trouble, but one is more extreme than the other.

For me to point out the every-day use of child restraint, and compare it to the extreme and socially frowned-upon conclusion, is just as simplistic as to compare slapping ones' hand away to beating a child until they're unconscious.

The word 'restraint' can be just as emotionally charged as 'abuse' and indeed, often forcibly restraining a child can be seen as such abuse. To simply replace one form of abuse for another simply isn't the answer. Nor is to simply see the world in black and white, but emotionally charged things on the internet seem to cause it to happen.
